2020 Toyota GR Supra
The Best Sports Performance Car in Canada (+video)

The Toyota Supra returned to Canadian showrooms in 2019 for the first time in more than 20 years, as a fully-loaded model prepared to turn heads and shred records on Track Days. Equally at home on the circuit as it is on the open road or the city street, the GR Supra is aggressively styled to convey its authentic performance credentials and loaded with features and amenities that will remind every Supra owner just how much fun driving can be.

The 2020 Toyota GR Supra is an iconic marque from Toyota’s history, brought forward into the future. This two-seater sports coupe is the first Toyota to earn the “GR” suffix – signifying that it has been track tested and fine-tuned by GAZOO Racing, Toyota’s in-house motorsports team, which counts Toyota’s global president, Akio Toyoda, amongst its drivers.

The return of the Toyota Supra was one of the worst-kept secrets in the auto industry – but it proved to be worth the wait. And the members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada agreed. At the Montréal International Auto Show, AJAC named the 2020 Toyota GR Supra as the association’s Best Sports-Performance Car in Canada for 2020.

Honed on the track. At home on the streets. The all-new Toyota GR Supra serves up pure driving pleasure at every turn. With its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive set-up, 50:50 weight distribution, low centre of gravity, and racing-inspired interior, the GR Supra is a driving enthusiasts dream.

Pure power. Pure performance. The new GR Supra’s 335 HP powerplant is ready to move you. Teamed with a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and armed with a launch control function GR Supra takes you from 0-96 km/h in 4.1 seconds of pulse-pounding exhilaration.

GR Supra’s active differential precisely controls torque distribution between the rear wheels to maximize traction so that you can carry greater momentum through every twist and turn. The adaptive variable suspension system instantly adjusts damping force in response to your input and road conditions, providing a sharper response or superior ride comfort.

Standard 19-inch forged alloy wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, renowned for their endurance. For even greater grip, rear wheels and tires are wider than on the front. Large brakes at every corner give you the stopping power you need. Highlighted by 13.7-inch front rotors held firm by 4-piston Brembo calipers.

Toyota GR Supra keeps you as connected to the world around you as it does to the road in front of you. From access to a full-service concierge to services like stolen vehicle recovery, Toyota Supra Connect is convenient connectivity and peace-of-mind technology. Here are just some of the innovative features available:

“The 2020 Toyota GR Supra is the sports car that enthusiasts were waiting for – with an exhilarating combination of power, precision and agility wrapped in aggressive coupe styling and enhanced with an impressive list of premium comfort and convenience features and technologies,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “We’d like to thank the members of AJAC for recognizing the Supra’s rebirth with this important honour.”
